On February 6, 2011, the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers would be linked forever as opponents in Super Bowl XLV. The two storied franchises, who hadn’t both made a conference championship game in the same season since 1997, met in a memorable Super Bowl, with the Packers being victorious 31-25. The matchup featured the league’s top 2 defenses in 2010, as well as two quarterbacks who are likely to be in Canton someday in Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger.
Rodgers had one of the best performances of his career, finishing with 304 yards and three touchdown passes.
